For the past year I have been on the most amazing team organising the ‘Understanding King James VI & I 400 Years On’ conference! (1/3) 🧵
CFP for the conference 'Scotland's Historic Environments and the British Empire.'
An extremely rare coin weight for a gold halfcrown of James VI & I. Unlike most coin weights which are of base metal, this one's made from silver. From the Hunterian collection.
It’s wonderful public interest in James VI & I’s life and reign is rising, AND that readers can turn to several new books about him.📚 Here are @stevenveerapen, Clare Jackson, Steven Reid and me discussing our man; Laura Stewart chairing. #Stuarts #KingJames400 #History #Tudors
On the trail of James VI & I… and the (no longer) lost letters of Mary, Queen of Scots…🔍🦄👑 Some highlights of a very special fortnight in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Paris. #KingJames400 #MaryQueenofScots #earlymodern #history @KingJamesConf @NatGalleriesSco @DrEstellePrnq
Our conference programme is live! Come join us for our completely online conference 21-23 August! 😍 engender-academia.com/conference-202…
Coin badges made for the @KingJamesConf alongside the original coins from the Hunterian collection.
What a three days! Thank you so much to all our speakers and attendees! 👑
Thank you to our speakers and attendees for making the conference so special! Wonderful to hear from so many scholars who work on or are intrigued by James VI & I… We hope you will keep the momentum going and we look forward to seeing what the future of Jacobean studies holds!
We all loved this conference. Thank you so, so much to the organisers and the speakers and the audiences in person and online. We must do this again and again! A better advertisement for scholarly collegiality I cannot imagine.
Finally, we have the Biographers Roundtable. Laura Stewart talks with Alex Courtney, Steven Reid, Clare Jackson and Steven Veerapen about what inspired them to write about King James, how they feel about the man himself, and how they see scholarship moving forward…

The ‘Wall of Jameses’ votes have been counted and the winner is… Nicholas Hilliard’s Lyte Jewel (c.1610-11)!!! (Modelled here by our speaker @EmilyHay2)
Giving @cvspragg and I a microphone and the power to quiz a room of academics on the hardest 7 rounds of James VI & I questions? An inspired idea…👑🎤 #understandingkingjames
The King James pub quiz is hotting up! PhD theses may be affected, careers may be broken…it’s very tense 😬

And we’re off! DAY ONE, PANEL ONE - Inheritance Our own Charlie Spragg uses material culture to explain why James’s 1603 coronation set out his stall as a ‘British’, rather than English or Scottish, monarch…
Really loved presenting a paper at @BristolUni today on early modern Scottish academics and students! Was part of a fantastic panel 😊
It's so pretty 😍 come see our Fringe show!
Look at our Fringe poster!!! Designed by the amazing @rebeccaxmatthews on insta! We're excited to see it plastered across Edinburgh very soon Tickets are through the QR
Happy birthday, King Jimmy - born #otd in 1566. The number 19 would become of almost mystical importance to him. Read about his life in ten parties here: nls.uk/papercut/james… #stuarts #scottishistory #englishhistory #royal #royalhistory
